Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) staff has revised the schedule
for the Proposed Update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan (Proposed
Update). The purpose of the schedule revision is to provide
adequate time for staff to review, consider and incorporate
stakeholder comments.
ARB anticipates releasing the Proposed Update and Environmental
Assessment in late January followed by a February Board meeting
that will include additional opportunities for stakeholder
feedback and public comment. In late spring 2014, ARB will hold
a Board Hearing to consider the Final Scoping Plan Update and
Environmental Assessment.

What is the Update to AB 32 Scoping Plan?
As required by AB 32, the initial Scoping Plan was developed in
2008. This Plan must be updated every five years. The Update to
the Scoping Plan (Update) builds upon the initial Scoping Plan
with new strategies and recommendations. The Update will define
ARB’s climate change priorities for the next five years and lay
the groundwork to start the transition to achieve California’s
post-2020 climate goals. It will highlight California’s progress
toward meeting the near-term 2020 GHG emission reduction goals
defined in the initial Scoping Plan and will evaluate how to
align the State's longer-term GHG reduction strategies with other
State policy priorities, for water, waste, natural resources,
agriculture, clean energy, transportation and land use.
